the lives of their children here. isis may be done. the savagery is not. neither is the hatred or the need for vengeance. nearly 200,000 are besieged here. so short of food, a single lemon has its price written on it. imagine dealing with nightmares when awake, but also with insane hunger. here, $40 a kilo and a single egg, $1.20. this week, russia and iran declared a conference to settle in syria. the day before, he said the world to know how grateful to moscow he is, perhaps unwittingly with this hug.
is a no, but you can sense in a radio interview that he is looking to get to yes. susan collins, a no. people out there need to be touched and called in the bill adjusted to address their specific concerns, but right now the republican leadership feels they will be able to get them. joining me as well, an important phone call moments before this tradition about to unfold at the white house. the turkey pardoning. president trump speaking with vladimir putin about syria. putin meeting with the butcher of syria. what did the president hope to accomplish with this phone call. we don t know the whole of what the white house agenda was. we know top lines for the things they wanted to discuss. we include syria and north korea. remember the u.s. and russia have been awkwardly on the same
